20/21 September 2023 Lisbon: Recharged and Back Out for Dinner

 


It took a few days for us settle down from our "go go go" lifestyle with Carlos and Omar.  Our prescriptions finally got filled, we made progress on our plan for next summer, and we tried to sleep in.  The last issue has become more difficult as new construction has begun in the building that we share an exterior wall with.  Boom boom crash is our new wake up call.  At least the Portuguese wait until 8:30 before they start their working, unlike Brisbane and their 24 hour construction work.  We are taking this in with a grain of salt.  We were treated to a fine sunset and we actually ventured out for dinner.  It was a semi-fancy restaurant that required a deposit with the reservation.  The demographics were distinctly Asian and the menu had a wider range of different seafood, from spiny lobster to golden crabs to barnacles.

Allmost gone


One last glass shrimp


Now for the Barnacles!


I needed lessons on what to eat and how to get to it, it turns out that there was little there that was paleteable 


A light egg and nut dish to replace the barnacle taste


I was told that I needed to try the Green Wine.  It was a white wine but perhaps green means un-aged
